"Experience Madurai at first light. Begin with a private heritage walk through the old city while the streets are still quiet, then visit the Meenakshi Amman Temple before the daytime crowds build. Afterwards, continue to the flower market to experience the intoxicating fragrance of Madurai Malli jasmine and watch local traders prepare garlands for the day."
